We fished the new Scott G Series 8'8" 4 wt all summer. What a rod. This is one of the longest-lived lines of graphite fly rods. The G offers a forgiving tip, great in close feel, and a lot of power in the butt section. It is a great protector of tippet, and a great fighter of fish. At home throughout the middle distance, with far more punch than previous G Series Models. There's more feel in the base of this rod, a powerful flex in the hand, that will make this an excellent rod at dusk and in the mysterious thereafter. Still features the hollow internal ferrule.
